Boobs, sizes and dresses, oh my!

How to make yourself feel better when the scale doesn't move.

1. Buy a new dress for your birthday party. 2. When it is 10 pounds too tight, ask your seamstress/work out buddy friend for advice.3. When she says - "body shaper" - heed her advice and get thee to the Lane B4. Find helpful sales woman who doesn't mind talking about your chubs5. Have her measure you for a new plunging bra and discover that your band size is 6 inches smaller than it was 1.5 years ago. And, your cup size is still a D with a smaller band size. This should not matter to you, but it might.6. Rejoice as you try on a couple of different bras and your saleswoman does not mind you pulling open your dress to say "I think the left one looks too squooshy, don't you?"7. Hike up your Spanx and feel beautiful in your new dress.8. Buy red patent shoes that make you feel a little sexy and like you might be too old to wear them, but you're doing it anyway.
